Default 2000 A8L

I am looking at the 2000 A8L with 108k miles for 11,999. Is this a good price? I am having the pre-purchase inspection done as we speak but wanted to find out if this was a reasonable price. It has every possible options including Navigation and 18" dish wheels.

Default I would look for tranny issues of course. It should drive smooth as silk with

a substantial amount of control. its a low price if the car is in perfect condition. find out what has been done maintanence wise. T-belt etc. review Audipages.com of course for some extra pointers.

I just bought my A8L with 68,000 miles for $16,350. That price of yours is extremely low.

Default Lower than suggested "Trade-in" pricing

According to Edmunds.com, that is below trade-in pricing. So you're getting a good price.

For a 2000 A8L with that many miles, the sales range provided was approximately $13 trade-in, $15 private sale, and $18 dealer. These seem to be reflective of Ebay prices too.

I would check, and double check, the tranny. Make sure the car goes into reverse with continuous power when you accelerate (in reverse). If not, any tranny repair will be significant ($2-$4K). Also mentioned was the timing belt. Audi recommends this be replaced at around 110K miles (approx $1K-2K cost).

I love my 2000 A8L, and hope you get a good deal on this one. Lets us know of your decision and good luck.<ul><li><a href="http://www.edmunds.com/tmv/used/2000/audi/a8/index.html">Link to Edmunds.com (2000 A8L)</a></li></ul>

This is where I found the vehicle and I did put the deposit down. I am 90% sure to purchase but going thru PPI today emphasis on Timing Belt and Transmission.

Default It's the miles that are killing the price.

Bought my 98 almost two years ago with just over 100k and the price was 4k less than comparable cars with 60 - 75k miles.

There simply aren't a lot of buyers willing to part with more than 10 - 12k for these cars with over 100k on the clock.

Lucky for us I suppose! :-)

Default Re: Make sure to do a CARFAX

There was a carfax for accident/incident report. Car is fixed and title is clear.
a8drifter, are you from NJ area? Do you mind going over and checking this vehicle out for me?
